Understanding the effects of varying pyrolysis conditions on yield
and composition of products from oil shales is important for
process optimization. The principal objective of this study was to
investigate how heating rate, final heat treatment temperature and
holding time at final temperature affect the yield and composition
of pyrolysis products. A full range of analyses had been run in
order to characterize oil shale samples and identify effects of
process conditions. A preliminary computed tomography (CT) scan
analysis had been peformed for the first time in the literature and
kerogen in the shale matrix was successfully located . The CT
scanning of the a sample before and after pyrolysis showed changes
in the distribution of kerogen in the shale matrix, indicating the
great potential of this technique for monitoring liquid evolution
in ex-situ and in-situ pyrolysis experiments in the laboratory.
This information will be very useful particularly for designing
in-situ pyrolysis processes for commercial production of shale oil.
